: Well, I'm actually more inclined to agree with Martel
: here, because of "The Cycle" theory in the
: Delusions section. When you take into account the kind
: of leader Alric is -
: "It has been noted that the the A-Leveller Moagim
: utilized primarily Myrkridia, a very flat, chaotic
: fighting force with little structure or order, who
: were simply viscious animals doing what they normally
: did until a more epic agenda. Likewise, the A-Hero
: Alric is the single, sole ruler of a more-of-less
: equal populace, who may have their kings and fiefs and
: such, but are entirely without any other rulers
: anywhere near to Alric's level - just like Moagim was
: to the Myrkridia."
: - essentially a dictator, it's obviously a very chaotic
: type of government when you compare it against a
: democracy, or even a monarchy (so long as the monarch
: is willing to listen to his assorted advisors).
: Essentially, that's the same kind of government you
: saw in a feudal society. Now keep in mind, during the
: middle ages, people literally could go to war with
: each other over a bee sting (scenario: (a) a serf [who
: lives on nobleman A's land] who is a beekeeper is
: smoking the bees out of the hive so he can get the
: honey. (b) Nobleman B's son comes strolling along, mb
: to visit friends, near the beehive. (c) bee stings
: nobleman B's son. (d) The son runs home and tells
: daddy. (e) Nobleman B is filled with "righteous
: fury," and declares war on nobleman A.) Isn't
: that stupid?
that course assumes that the King doesn't have control of his nobles. Presumably Alric can force anyone (if someone tried this) to stop fighting. Heron Guards and Disposal Dreams tend to be quite effective "peacemakers".
: Then, to support the idea of Balor's "Lawful
: Evil"-ness, Balor/Connacht is obviously more
: orderly than Alric -
: "...B-Hero Connacht was the supreme Emperor, but he
: had his great lieutenants like Damas, powerfull
: Avatara like Myrdred, great kings in the allied
: nations of Dwarves and Berserks, and all sorts of
: other layers between Savior and King. He lead a very
: orderly, structured, multi-layered world. Then, when
: he returned as Balor, the B-Leveller, he still had his
: lieutenants (the Fallen Lords), they had their Shades,
: Trow generals, and other underlings, and then the
: Undead themselves were directly controlled extensions
: of their creators. Again, a very structured and
: orderly system."
: See what I'm getting at?
: -Doom
Not really, because Monarchy is a order centered goverment. But I think I get the basic idea.
